THE PEOPLE *â€" Mr. Stewart’s Reply Editor Watchman-Warden Sir zâ€"l-lad I known it in time would have answered last week a of the week Mr. Richards, voter, came to vote. The clerk reâ€" corded his name in the usual way and 1 gave Mr. Richards 8. ballot which he took into the priVate apart- ment provided for the purpose to mark his own ballot. He came out. handed me the ballot sayng there was a. mark upon it and that. he wanted another and wanted me is a. good ballo to mark it for you we can U one. He said he wanted another and I marked another for him. The mark upon the ballot objected to was a. very slight ink blot on the outer edge and not within the space for either candidate. Whether this little blot had gist there accidentally in the printing ofiice or in the polling booth I do not know. I had not‘noticcd it and knew nailing: of it until Mr. {iclnards drew my attention to it. The pad of ballms was lying expos- ed on the table in full View of my- self, the poll clerk and all the scru- tineers. If the clerk or any of the scrutineers noticed the blot they said nothing to me about it. The blot was upon the face and was so very slight that it could not possibly have been any objection to the ballot on counting and I so told the scrutin- eers. When I finished with Mr. Richards there were several voters waiting outside and in a hurry. Mr. Miles Elliott came in and without think- ing I handed him the first ballot that came to my hand which was the same ballot I had first handed to Mr. Richards. He refused it and I tore on another and gave it to him. I then marked this ballot which had been refused, “Spoiled” and placed it away among spoiled ballot papers, although I thought the ballot a. good one. I ought not to have hand- ed it to another voter after having been refused by one, and had I taken time to think, or had any scrutineer objected. I would not have' done so. It was done in a. hurry and the mom-- ent Mr. Elliott objected I handed him Shortly after this Mr. S. J. Fox came mto the booth in an excited manner and said ”There have been twonspoiled ballots here this morn- ing. I told him there had not been two, there Was only one and showed it to him.

Thos. Manning, B.A., prea- ched his farewell sermon at the Cam- bridge-st. Methodist church on Sun- day night. His theme was brother- ly love and charity. Referring to the funds of the church both local and connexional. They had shown him great kindness ; but he exhorted themv to lay' aside business sufficicpt week-night E prayer various devotions. church ......... Mr. Manning has been among the ablcst pastors 0‘ the Cambridge-st. Methodist church. A university graduate, 21 wide reader, and a. close student of human na- ture, he has, by a. unique combina- téon of culture and natural gifts, de- veloped abilities that merit and command his high standing in the .Methodist ministry. Mr. Manning lhas a fine literary taste, and when at his best his sermons were marked by passages of rare beauty of thou- ght and expression. He is a careful sermonizer and those who are famil- iar with his methods. know that his sermons are carefully prepared and committed to manuscript, not for use in the pulpit. for he is almost wholly an extcmporaneous speaker, but to insure thoroughness and ac- curacy in his treatment .of his theme._ Mr. Manning’s familiarity with the best literature ancient and modem is often revealed by the apt extracts that adorn his discourses. These are aIWays carefully selected. dexâ€" terously handled and admirably ren- dered : and hence become a side light on many authors as well as serving the preacher’s purpose of illustration or proof in the subject discussed. No Methodist minister outside the col- leges knows modern religious thought better than does Mr. Manning. The Higher Criticism is not too high for him. He has no word of reproach for its investigations nor its theorâ€" ies ; some of these latter he. accepts ; a. few of them he has preached ; but he is among the men who can hold the old faith amid the new theories, and without panic on the one hand or radicalism on the other, teach the fundamentals of Christian doctrines of belief and conduct. in the terms with which the commonpeoplc are for miller and by which their conscience is aroused and their devotion kindled Mr. Manning’s qualities as a pastor won the deep regard of his congrega- tion. and as a. citizen he was held in “high esteem. No minister in this town was in heartler sympathy with the press. its work. and those on- gaged iii-ft. Mrs. Manning as mem- ber of the choir and officer of the ladies' societies did effective and faithful service. Mrs. Manning left, for Toronto last week and before Ihe left the ladies of the Missionary Aux-y Wary presented her with a French “0°“: and 3119 Piece of cut glass. The Fortnightly, Club gave her a. set of W. D. Howells’ “Heroines ‘of Flo. tion.’ .........

Artificial irrigation is used every- where and the need for that limits the grain growing area at present. WHERE PROHIBITION WORKS Within a. radius of 35 miles there are the three townsâ€"cities we call them-of Redlands. Riverside and Pasadena. They are places of from 7.000 to 8,000 people and are under prohibition. They have been for 9 or 10 years. It is a sort of Local Option for the town council makes the law. It works well too. Some- times the drug stores sell more than they, should but not often and the evil effects of the liquor traffic are practically overcome. You hardly ever see a drunken man. The hotels have no bars at all or sell any sort of drinks. They are simply boarding houses and make a very good living. Even in the big tourist hotels no wine is allowed on the table. Pusa- dena is only 5 miles from the city of Los Angeles where there is plenty of liquor and in the country around the. three prohibition towns there are hotels with liquor. Of course some pQOple want theilaw changed but public sentiment is very strong in fa~ vor of the present system. The mor- als of the town are good." Mr. Skuce came home by the North- ern Pacific to Vancouver and from there by the C. P. 12.. so that he traversed an enormous distance and saw some of the finest scenery in the world.

Some of the bricks were spoiled. and we have been kept back a full week by the accident." “There is some talk that Mr. James Hamilton is not being made to conform to «She fire by-law" said Aid. McDiarmid. “He is within the limits that requires that new buildings shall have 9-inch sclid brick walls. Now he is putting a top on the part. of his house that came through the fire. The house is brick-veneered. A solid 9â€"inch Wall cannot be put on a veneer. but.
